Pastured CornishX Fred Rations

We have decided to pasture raise our Cornish cross. How much on average do you feed your chickens daily that you also allow to free range on pasture?

I free feed birdse that free ranged. One weighted 22 lbs at butcher date and none out of 11 had any leg problem.

I free feed and free range. They are let out at 6am and locked up at 8pm. I put fermented feed outside and they all go running for it, when its gone, they scratch and peck around in the grass. They acted more like chickens since we started doing this. Not to mention "pasture raised" is a huge marketing point.
